December 2022 Taurus Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

December 2022

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until December 11th:

The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar seventh house--your partnership sector. This can be a time of much learning through the mirror of close relationships. It's not the time to push your agenda or personal plans forward; rather, it's a cycle in which you are at your best when you recognize the need to form alliances, to give back to a special someone, and to compromise in order to find some balance in your life.

It's a strong period for putting yourself into another person's shoes and to better understand him/her. You may be meeting with someone strong and assertive by nature now, or a partner is more assertive and needy of attention. There may be some competitive feelings between you and a significant other now. Focus is on reconciliation, forming or cementing bonds, diplomacy, consultation, one-on-one interactions, and negotiations. You may feel a little drained physically now, temporarily.

From December 12th forward:

The Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.

All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic "junk" or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life's secrets.

This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year's events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

From the 1st to 25th: 

Venus graces your solar eighth house now. During this cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially through your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be revitalizing and even healing. You are more inclined to want to smooth over differences in a partnership concerning the sharing of power, intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics. Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.

From December 26th forward:

Venus graces your solar ninth house during this period. A taste for the exotic takes hold during this cycle. Routine affairs simply don't seem to satisfy. You receive pleasure from anything that expands your horizons, both physically and mentally. Foreign people and places may particularly appeal now. You tend to be expansive and generous when it comes to love. A love interest who attracts you during this cycle may be somebody who you previously wouldn't consider attractive, or someone whose cultural background is very different than yours. You have a taste for the exotic and the spirit to match. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period. You are all the more attractive and charming with this position, which increases your popularity. If a romance were to begin now, it is more likely to be with someone of a different background or educational level, or someone you meet through travel. You have a taste for the exotic now that can show up in many areas of your life--who you are attracted to, what you buy, the kind of art or entertainment you enjoy, and so forth.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until December 21st: 

Mercury continues to transit your solar eighth house. The ability to analyze and rationalize some of the deeper elements inside yourself and in your intimate life now can benefit you. This is also a good time for sorting out finances, particularly money shared or coming from other sources other than your own personal income.

You might particularly enjoy discussing topics that you typically don't verbalize with someone special during this cycle. Anything taboo, mysterious, or puzzling can be especially fascinating for you just now. You have little interest in small talk. You are more aware of subtleties and nuances during this cycle, and you can use this increased insightfulness to improve your life.

From December 21st forward: 

Mercury transits your solar ninth house. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture.

You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the "big picture" rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.

Mercury is retrograde from December 29th to January 18th: 

All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with lovers or children, and regarding financial affairs, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Your judgment with regards to personal finances (Gemini-ruled for you) as well as romantic partners and creative endeavors may not be up to par just now, so do avoid "signing on the dotted line". Speculation is not advised during this cycle.

Occurring in your solar ninth house this time, extra care should be exercised regarding travel or education plans. Delays or complications are very possible in these areas. Go over applications carefully before submitting them and make sure you understand instructions clearly. Expressing your opinions now might come across in entirely the wrong way. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with professors and lawyers as well; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Mars is retrograde from October 30th, 2022, until January 12th, 2023:

All Mars retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of your intuition and spiritual matters, because Mars rules these areas of your life. You may find that you are less able to rely on your intuition. Perhaps you're picking up the wrong cues or reading too much into situations. Whatever the case may be, for the time being, you may not feel that your intuition is serving you well. Keep an eye out for deceptiveness and falseness in others. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating about your inner world now or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely. Private affairs and solitary work might need to be put on the back burner, or you could show less enthusiasm for them as you reassess matters.

Occurring in your solar first house now, this Mars retrograde cycle is very up close and personal! The ways that your survival instincts have served you to date may not seem to be as effective, or you might be feeling cautious and withdrawn in a general way now. You might find that you are second-guessing yourself, and this is a natural process as you reassess how you've been going about meeting life and reacting/acting, which may need some polishing! It's a good time for refining these things. Your personal initiatives and confidence are affected. Perhaps you are less confident about your effectiveness and more cautious about sharing yourself with others. Personal initiatives might need to be put on the back burner, or you could show less enthusiasm for them. You may be a little tired and more accident-prone during this cycle, so be sure to rest up.

You are also examining the way anger has helped or impaired your life and coming up with new ways to manage it. In the process, you can experience some real frustrations. The end result, ideally, is a much-improved "you." It's time to rethink, revise, and reorganize your plans. Backtracking is a good idea now. How you assert yourself and how you go about going after what you want out of life are up for review now.
Watch for unacknowledged or buried desires driving your behavior.

Overview Horoscope:

December 2022 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Taurus:

Socially and mentally, there are some high points in December, dear Taurus. You begin the month with much activity in your intimacy sector, encouraging you to work on power dynamics and sharing in a relationship. Of course, getting to know your own capabilities, limits, and worth is a healthy part of any exploration of dependencies on others or outside sources, and it's what the Full Moon on the 7th is about.

You get the chance to dig deep and get to the heart of a relationship or private matter in December. You're in good shape for emotional repair, healing, and deep understanding. Emotional honesty is essential and rewarding now.

The first week of the month does have a way of bringing various buried frustrations to the surface with the triggering of retrograde Mars. Try to settle debts or make plans to do so and avoid taking on more. Ownership matters can be a source of conflict. There can be strong defensive reactions to problematic situations and people. Suppressing resentment or anger risks it bursting in unpleasant ways. Retrograde Mars can nevertheless stir up buried problems related to money, respect, and values. Issues aggravated now tend to be about boundaries, possessiveness, or respect on an emotional level, and money on the material plane. You want to hold your own with Mars currently transiting your solar second house, and if you are in the position to depend on others, it can frustrate you. There can be a tug-of-war with someone (or within yourself) over money, possessions, and matters of control.

The Full Moon on the 7th can be a call to manage your money, resources, and talents. While emotions run high around the time of a Full Moon, they can prompt the formulation of a new plan for improving your life. If you've undervalued your contributions, whether to work or a relationship, this is a time for recognizing and affirming your worth, value, and capabilities. You come face to face with needs and wants that you've kept at bay, and it's a great learning experience.

Still, a broader theme of December involves developing and building your close relationships and special projects. It's a great time to focus and specialize. You're also rebuilding your faith in your friendships, goals, and alliances. You might hear from a friend after a long absence or pick up an old project and begin reworking it.

The 6th and 9th bring Mercury and Venus into harmony with your sign and into your sector of spirit and adventure, easing the flow of expression. The Sun enters this house of your solar chart on the 21st, and as December advances, your personality opens up to the rest of the world and new experiences. It's a brilliant time to reach beyond your usual routines and explore new ideas, activities, and places. A time to learn, teach, and share thoughts, you can feel raring to go. You're communicating with particular panache, and it's a good time for thinking outside the box, education, communications, travel, projects revolving around technology and new-thought topics, and for work and health matters.

It's true that your need to explore, learn, and enjoy some measure of freedom or freeform activity can sometimes clash with your ambitions to take care of business, work, routines, and health. However, finding a balance is within reach. Mercury turns retrograde in your solar ninth house on the 29th, indicating the need to slow down and reconsider some elements of your plans, programs, or ideas.

You're inclined to seek new or renewed learning experiences and detours from the usual routine in December. Mercury's retrograde turn on the 29th may seem to slow you down, but in fact, it helps you pace yourself.

Tidying up areas of your life that may be causing you guilt or dread can be useful with Chiron turning direct and Jupiter heading into your solar twelfth house. Helping others or learning new things can be especially pleasurable.
